NBC picks up John Wells’ ‘LAPD’

Biderman to write Chulack-directed cop drama

NBC’s eager to remain in the John Wells business, picking up a cop-related put pilot from the “ER” chief.

Tentatively titled “LAPD,” hourlong drama will center on police in Los Angeles (as the title suggests). Ann Biderman — whose credits include “NYPD Blue” — is set to write the project, while Chris Chulack (“ER”) will direct.

Wells, Biderman and Chulack are set as exec producers on “LAPD,” which will come from Warner Bros. TV and John Wells Prods.

Project comes as Wells’ “ER” is set to go one more round as NBC will air the show’s 15th and final season.
